MareofEasttown creator on the tricky balance of creating an emotionally satisfying yet surprising ending.
Mare of Easttownhad the characters for his whodunnit kicking around his head for months before he started writing a single word. “I've watched too many of these stories,” he toldStill Watching podcast. "I know you have to stick the landing or else people are going to be angry at you.” It was only when Ingelsby connected the murder of Erin McMenamin to Mare's emotional breakthrough that he was finally able to get to work.
Ingelsby wanted to keep the killer's identity a surprise but also not have the Ryan reveal come out of nowhere: "It's gotta be earned, right? So there's always the balance. How much of Ryan are we going to show? When do we show him? How do we not tip our hand? How do we have enough of him where you get to that ending and go, 'Oh, okay. That actually makes sense.’ It was a tricky one.
